Czech it out! Part II Delicious Meals

Having meals in delicate restaurants aren't expensive. It was quite economy to share among your travel companions. We had two dinners in Prague and that's quite enough for our tongues to experience its traditional meals. 


This is a restaurant near Charles Bridge (which is the opposite end of the Cinnamon Roll bakery). Our Christmas meal was spent here with festive decorations.  


Vegetable soup

Goulash soup 

It is a traditional Hungarian beef soup served with its special bread. The texture of this bread is like Chinese buns. 

Lamb Special (I couldn't remember the actual name)
It is the leg of lamb grilled with special sauce and served with the buns, sausages and pickled cabbage.

Stewed Pork Trotters 
It was perfectly grilled, crispy and was not too oily. 

 Next, was our last supper in Prague. The restaurant is near to Wenceslas Square. I think it's easy to find if you wanted to visit. There was a guy in costume as ancient soldier standing at the entrance, you will definitely be attracted by him!

Wenceslas Square

Tatarak (raw beef)
You must try when you visit Prague! We ordered a 100g raw beef. There is a technique to eat it. You will just need to ask for help from waiters and they will help you to mix everything together. Finally, the garlic is to scrub on the toast and spread the mixed tatarak on it. That was a special experience, it's more that your imagination!  

Grilled fish
Tasted fresh with herbs and lemon, and bits of sourness. 

Apple strudel with vanilla ice cream
Famous Austrian dessert. Diced apple was pickled with sugar and layered on "pancake"-base. The warmness of apple strudel matches best with the coldness of vanilla ice cream. 

Czech it out! Part I Yummilicious Street Snacks

There is a variety of Austrian snacks around every corner of streets in Prague. I reckon it was Christmas time when I visited, therefore there were columns of food booths appeared as Christmas Markets almost everywhere! These are a bunch of traditional snacks I had tasted. 


Lamb sausage 
There are all kinds of meat sausage rolls available and you can add whatever dressings as you like. The above lamb sausage was with tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard and BBQ sauce. That's too much I know! lol There was also a specialty -- pickled cabbage -- a bit sour and sweet.  

Chicken Skewer
It is a barbecued skewer in chicken, capsicum and onion. It was grilled and the capsicum and onion were absorbed with the meaty flavour of chicken~ sooooo yum

Fried Cheese Burger
It is totally unlike with those in McDonalds'. The cheese was fried and I think there was seasonings on the fried powder, so it was a bit chilly. 

Pickled Cabbage Sausage Roll
 The pickled cabbage matched well with the sausage. It was a mixture of tastes, with sour and sweet in the pickled and salty in sausage.

Fried Cheese Pizza
A fried bread with cheese stuffing and sprinkled with cheese and tomato ketchup 

Pickled Cabbage with Bacon and Potato
Tasted more or less like the Pickled Cabbage Roll but it is with potato. The potato was soft and smooth.


Cinnamon Roll
This is a famous snack in Prague. It is a sweet crispy bread sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. It tastes best when freshly baked. This shop sells Prague's best cinnamon roll, it is next to Charles Bridge.
